The guy who told a joke to a dead body as though they could hear it.

Alternatively, the guy who laughs at his own joke as he’s telling it.

The less colorful tufted titmouse common around here is actually my favorite variety. But honestly I just love birds.

Honestly one of my favorite birds, though. They’re just adorable.

You’re right, they just exchange it in circles to make themselves even richer.

I’m not a linguistics expert and this is just me offering an unsolicited layman’s opinion, but perhaps the nuance comes from whether or not one might still conceive of the words being related despite the acknowledged difference in definition?

For example, “bat” (the animal) and “bat” (the implement) are homonyms that are used to describe two clearly different things. But maybe one might think of “scale” being connected between its various uses when it is not. “Scale” (the measuring tool) uses plates which are similar to the flat plates of fish scales. Or that to “scale” a distance is like measuring a “scale” of height. Something like that.

？？？？？？？？

TL;DR I’m not a professional chef but I know what tastes good.

FWIW I initially just took this in the context of the source material, Game of Thrones.

Cersei Lannister (pictured) comes from a noble house whose sigil is a lion. They use a lot of lion metaphors. One of the quotes from her father Tywin (in the show at least) is “The lion does not concern himself with the opinions of the sheep.”

Cersei as a character, though, is a bit of a hot mess who makes it her business to concern herself with everyone.

My 90’s childhood trauma resurfaced here.

I pressed + a few times to keep making the horse bigger, which made me happy, and wondered “How far can I go with this?”

So I pressed it a few more times, with diminishing results, and then I started feeling anxious for some reason. I realized I was thinking “Wait, this is a setup. How long until it turns into a horrifying face and screams at me?”

Too many old gimmicky sites/flash games that cause users to focus more intently/rush on through before throwing in a jump scare. Always hated that stuff.

Based on the other comments though, I’m relieved it seems to be an innocuous site that just helps a horse achieve its dream of becoming as big as it can possibly be.

That just sounds like a reframing of “the party are the capitalist class” though.

If the party either controls the corporations or has the ability to seize control if their priorities aren’t met, where does one group begin and the other end?

Agreed. It will require careful redistribution of labor and resources to ensure stability with a declining population.

But nations typically want to hoard their resources, and the value of labor is measured only in overall utility to the billionaire class, so I don’t believe it will be a graceful decline for the majority of the world in practice.

How do I un-read something?

TBF Henry Ford was a literal Nazi and I probably wouldn’t want to license anything to him either.

I don’t think that’s the point OP is making, but rather using one’s lived experience as a basis for which to judge others’ lived experiences.

For some, 21 may feel ancient, but for others, their current >21 age is just right. No need to say things in a way that makes the latter feel like they missed the boat on happiness.

Looks like this is already poſt-thorn, though.

That, or this is the alphabet for a different European language entirely.

Even young people who grew up with technology.

There is now a middle sweet spot of computer literacy that spans Gen X and Millennials. When you go younger than that, you start running into people who never owned a normal computer growing up and only ever used smartphones/tablets.

By making devices simple enough for grandma to use, we inadvertently fostered a new generation of people who are as computer literate as grandma.

Dang, who let Bulgaria into the EU and NATO? That is just courting disaster at this point.
